My Third Paper Bag Scrapbook

I was going to give the last scrapbook to a friend, but my daughter thought this one was better. So this is the one I'm giving away and the one with the ladies on it is in my Etsy Shop.

I used scraps and sewed them together in strips to make the cover.

This is some of my corally colored handmade paper. I love the color. It has a little bit of veining on it where I had placed a leaf for texture.
More handmade paper and pockets added.My handmade paper with Anise in it and birdie pictures.

Sheet music paper sewn onto fabric with sweet little birdies singing.

Handmade paper and a polka dot pocket.

I made this paper with little strands of yarn in it to add some color.

The final page with purple handmade paper and a brownish pocket and trim.

The back cover is more scraps stitched together.

I think this was a fun way to use up my scraps!

Okay, I have one more set of bags distressed for another aged looking scrapbook and then I have to get started on the bags that my mom and sister ordered from me, the crocheted blanket that has been ordered and more swaps. I suppose I really need to get a move on it! Right Mom?!?!?! I'm having so much fun doing these little scrapbooks though that I don't want to quit! The kids are making some right now. They are having fun picking out paper from Mom's pretty paper stash. I hate giving up my paper, I'm a hoarder when it comes to paper!

A Different Paper Bag Scrapbook

This is a another paper bag scrapbook that I am sending to a friend.

The front cover is some fabric that I bought a year or so ago.

I machine stitched around the ladies and added a little flower to the blonde's hair.

This is some handmade paper I purchased and then added some bird nest pics and buttons.


This is some of my own handmade paper. I love the black paper I made!

fabric and more of my handmade paper

I added skeleton leaves to this page.

mulberry paper
My handmade paper with anise added. It smells yummy!

Fabric and my handmade paper and a cute little bluebird.

The back is more of the fabric and I machine stitched around the lady.

Three tags to go with the book.

I love this fabric. I bought it a year or so ago and never knew what to do with it. I just had to buy it because it was pretty. So now I found a good use for it. I knew I would! I love using handmade paper! I love making paper! It's fun and I can be creative with what I want to add to it. I need to make some more.........after I clean the kitchen good. Darn it, I hate cleaning, I'd much rather just craft!!

What I've Been Up To

Here's the finished jean bag I made the other day. I embellished it with some crocheted flowers and buttons.

This is a distressed paper bag scrapbook I made the other night. It's for sell in my Etsy shop.

I made another paper bag scrapbook that I'll post pics of tomorrow.

I'm holding Jace right now and he just feel asleep so I think I'll go lay him down and take a nappy with him.

Sounds good, huh?

Night, Night!
